Americans may still need masks to fight COVID in 2022, Fauci says
What's wrong with this guy?
He doesn't know shit about next year.
Sure he was asked a direct question, but how hard is it to say that we don't know yet even what the 2nd half of 2021 will look like, will have to see what course the virus takes and how well vaccination works, etc. Then pivot into positives about vaccination progress and herd immunity likelihood and hopefully returning to normal soonish.
Why be negative and worry people about complete unknowns a year out? He was awful and dishonest under Trump, he's 80, he's promoting dumb negative ideas. Retire this guy. Fauci should stick to actual science based arguments instead of speculation and guesswork.
